1978 Volvo 242 244 245 impair the running of the engine. This can be eliminated by adding special additives to the fuel. There is less risk of condensation forming in the fuel tank if it is kept full. Engine lubricating system During the winter, multigrade oil 10W-40 should be used in the engine. At very low temperatures (below 0° F), multigrade oil SAE 5W-20 or SAE 5W-30 is recommended. These oils reach the lubricating points in the engine more easily at low temperature and also facilitate cold starting. See section titled "Engine Oil". Electrical system The electrical system is subject to great stresses during the winter. Lighting and starter motor are used more often. The battery capacity is impaired at low air temperature. The state of charge must be checked more frequently, and if necessary the battery should be charged. The battery may freeze if the state of charge is low. Brake system During cold weather the brakes are subject to splash and condensation which can result in the parking brake freezing up, especially if applied for long periods of time. Use of first or reverse gear on a manual transmission or position "P" on an automatic transmission is preferable during these conditions. See section titled "Brake System". Windshield washers Anti-freeze should also be added to the water container for the windshield (rear window) washer. This is particularly important during the winter because the windshield frequently becomes dirty and is often splashed with water which rapidly freezes. This may necessitate the frequent use of the windshield washer and wipers. Your Volvo dealer can supply you with suitable anti-freeze for this purpose. Anti-freeze for door locks Lubricate the outside locks with a suitable anti-freeze. Such agents are commercially available and should be used before the first frost. pg. 74 file:///K|/ownersdocs/1978/1978_242_244_245/78242244245_03c.htm (6 of 12)12/22/2006 10:11:30 PM
